president putin s press conference today. he said global issues like cyberattacks and prisoners will happen at another time. so what exactly does putin want from the united states? joining us now, correspondent for puck, julia yaffy, and this is the founder of the free russia foundation. julia, i ll start with you. what did vladimir putin want from this summit and did he get it? well, he wanted to show that he is an equal of the united states. that s why he made sure to let us know that he didn t want the summit, he didn t call for it, but he showed up. that s him showing his i m above it all kind of, yeah, feeling. he also really clearly enjoyed his press conference.
i think it s going to on state tv, i think it s going to be perceived in this way. i m already seeing in the russian media that people have piped up on putin s comments that alexey navalny left germany for treatment and yulia has posted a photograph of the gurney on which navalny left russia, which looks like a ka cocon, a coffin, after being poisoned and air lifted out of russia. people are very much picking up on the insane, absurd hypocrisy of that statement. julia, vladimir, thank you for the brilliant insights and perspectives, thank you. my friend and colleague hallie jackson is with us and phil rubbinger of the
article. it s very special. that is. you can you should hang that on the wall. beyond all this, i m just looking at one of the basic fact in julia s piece. a third of foreign service jobs be in overseas u.s. embassies and consulates are empty. 20 ambassadorships remain unfilled. we re three years into the administration. this was a plan. it s unbelievable. they said from the beginning the president, his son-in-law said from the beginning, we re going to run the world from here. we don t need people filling these positions. and history doesn t matter. so we know woody, right? you know woody? i don t know woody. he s very nice. you know woody, right? here s the thing about woody. like, he s a nice guy. he s a jeb guy. he was like, mainstream republican. and now he s acting like a stooge? like, oh, somebody said obama s name? it just shows you how much people are shape shifting because of donald trump s insecurities.
then he started on that speech speech, which was so bizarre. that s when i got really worried. carnage in the street and the dark dispopian vision. i was sitting there like just wow, couldn t believe. and george w. bush says to me that was some weird [ bleep ]. that s still good. and bill fighting his poncho and having fun with it. what are you going to do? maybe we didn t evolve of this policy, but come on, willie, how much do we miss that story has been widely reported and it was mice to hear secretary clinton confirm that he did believe the american carnage speech at the inauguration was quote, some weird stuff. mike barn knack wiicle joinse table. also joining us, correspondent for g.q. magazine, julia yaffy.
